i want to add values from 5 drop down boxes 1

[elizabeth1987]

Hi guys, i'm trying to develop a code for my sister, i would like to use javascript to finish off the following tasks:

1. I want to be able to select marks from 0 to 30, from 5 drop down boxes.
2. and as marks are selected, it should upgrade the total.
3. and then show me the total marks when finished.

i've got up to creating the drop down boxes, now it's just adding the values once selected.

Thanks! any help would be great

What have you tried?

Adding is not difficult, and as long as you know how to reference the drop downs it should be simple using the Onchange event of each dropdown.

var dropdown1=document.getElementById('firstdropdown');
var dropdown2=document.getElementById('seconddropdown');
...

var resultbox=document.getElementById('resultbox');

resultbox.value=parseInt(dropdown1.value)+parseInt(dropdown2.value)+....;
}
